As far as I can see, EFI systems use PXE, just the same, so the dnsmasq configuration isn't really different. Of course the environment seen by the first-stage loader you supply will be different, so you'll need to a different binary (a quick google says elilo.efi instead of pxelinux, but don't quote me on that). The only other difference is that if you're using full-fat PXE, rather than just dhcp-boot, the Client System Architecture changes pxe-service=x86-64_EFI, "Install Linux", elilo.efi, 1.2.3.4 HTH Simon.
